Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

I had heard good things about this from my friend, so I decided to pick it up in Ivory. However this foundation did not meet my expectations. The foundation was way to dark for me, even though it was the lightest available shade. Plus the coverage isn't that great. It seems to just fade away completely if I try to blend it. Not made for people with pale skin. But if you have darker skin you might be able to make this work.

Unfortunately this foundation oxidised like crazy on me and felt oily and slid right off my face after only a few hours, despite not having overly oily skin myself. The coverage is light to medium and the formula is very blendable, it has a slight fragrance but nothing offensive. Would recommend this for people with dry skin

I think this foundation really depends on your skin type, I didn't have any coverage at all with this foundation and it wasn't s long wearing foundation on the face. It's definitely darker then most other colours so I would say dnietly test it on your skin before you purchase it!!!

This foundation claims it has new shades formulate for women of colour, which SHOULD translate to some with yellow tones that STAY yellow. Unfortunately this foundation oxidised on me within 20 minutes to a rather unpleasant reddish colour that looked very unnatural.

This is a good light-medium foundation if you build it up. I have it in the shade porcelain which is great when I'm really pale though I'm not sure if it is available to buy in New Zealand. In winter I can wear this by itself but it summer I have to set it even though I have normal to dry skin. Despite this I think it's a good drugstore foundation for everyday and the finish with or without powder is lovely.

Tried this foundation after hearing my friends rave about it. I have to say it was very disappointing, within the first hour of application, I had noticed it was sliding off my face. Please note, I always use a foundation without primer or powder when I first try it to see how it is going to last. The following few days I used foundation primer, and setting powder as well as spray in an effort to keep the product from sliding off my face. I do not have an over oily skin, and do not usually have issues like this come up. I have never had to buy a foundation formulated for an oily skin. My T-zone is a bit oily but that is considered normal in my profession and have never had to use formulations for oily skin on myself or clients with an oily t-zone. The coverage is ok if you want a very natural look, but for people that like a fuller coverage or have blemishes, scars or pigmentation to cover, this is not for you. To be able to have this foundation last on me. I need to use foundation primer, setting powder and spray and I need to blot and re powder my T-zone hourly to prevent sliding. This process can be very expensive cosmetics wise. As for one bottle of foundation, you will need two pots of setting powder. Needless to say, I stopped using this on clients very quickly.

What I do love about this foundation is the wide variety of shades that it comes in; I wear 315. It also has a great dewy finish, but this also makes it unsuitable for oily skin. I always set this foundation with powder, and that is when it makes my skin look better than it does without it (you do NOT want to sweat while wearing this foundation because it will absolutely not stay put). It won't cover any blemishes because it's so light, so concealer is a must for that. Yet I do love that it doesn't have a pump and that it comes in a glass bottle.

I absolutely love this foundation! First off finding the tone the suited me was super easy but they may have just been luck. This is a very light foundation but that's all im wanting it for. Its great for the everyday foundation to wear to work. I was previously wearing high coverage heavy makeup but my skin hated me from it. I have been using this for two months now and my skin is looking much better. No breakouts from clogged skin. Also helps my skin breathe in this hot summer we are having. Although it is light it does seem to last me all day when I have set it with powder. If im wanting a heavier coverage i just team it with my concealer and build up the foundation.

Brought this at a sale as it was $8 and I'm still looking for the perfect foundation and had read some great reviews! I'm not disappointed. I like how it is a light coverage but could easily add more if you need more coverage as it's very easy to apply and blend. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy my skin could breathe. It didn't feel gritty or have any kind of shimmer through it just a nice dewy finish. It comes in a long tall glass bottle with no pump (grrrrr) so be careful when pouring it out. It does last all day even in the heat and I didn't notice any rub off on clothing. I haven't noticed any breakouts and I have been lucky enough that I didn't have to use primer underneath first ad it just seems to sit perfectly on its own. Easy to remove with both make up removing towelettes or with make up remover. There is nothing I dislike about this foundation just wish they could put a pump in the bottle. (Colour 325)

This foundation is a nice colour for my skin, although I applied a primer after my skin care routine this foundation did not last as long as I hoped it would, it came off quite quickly. It is a great foundation if you set it with powder and setting spray, I would not recommend wearing it alone. I got this for $10 NZD
